Product Development

The Concanon development team has worked closely with Splunk and with many of Splunk's technology partners to create some of the most powerful, groudbreaking apps ever built for the Splunk platform. Together with Splunk, and our sister company Scianta Analytics, our team delivered patented qualitative-expression-based conceptual search for the Splunk platform. The technology is now shipping as Extreme Search™, in the Splunk App for Enterprise Security. Scianta Analytics Extreme Vigilance™, developed by Concanon, is built upon the Scianta Cognitive Modeler, a powerful machine learning platform tightly integrated into Splunk Enterprise.

At Concanon, we take a different approach to building Splunk apps. Instead of using Splunk as a simple datastore, Concanon apps are designed to be tightly integrated into Splunk's search language and the Splunk platform itself. This allows us to extend Splunk, enabling the Splunk platform to effectively conquor important new use cases. Our design methodology includes leveraging Splunk's Common Information Model, so our apps will integrate cleanly with leading edge apps both today and into the future. Our extensive experience as a professional services consultancy, delivering solutions directly for end users, has allowed our team to build a reputation for delivering powerful, user-optimized data visualizations in Splunk.

If you have a need for a Splunk App or Technology Add-on... If you need your product integrated with Splunk the right way... let's talk.
